Definitions
- the invention relates to an optical waveguide with a core and a cladding, in which the cladding has a lowering of the refractive index in its inner region.
- a lowering of the refractive index in the inner cladding makes it possible to use less doping in the core to increase the core refractive index. With lower core doping, however, the losses experienced by the fundamental in the core are lower, and the fiber guides the fundamental with less attenuation overall.
- the fundamental wave attenuation can be increased in fiber curvatures, in which fundamental wave power tunnels through the cladding area with a reduced refractive index into the outer cladding area and is lost through radiation. It is therefore very important in practice to find possibilities and measures with which this curvature sensitivity of fibers with a reduced refractive index in the inner cladding can be reduced.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying an optical waveguide with a reduced Bech number in the sheath, in which disturbances caused by curvatures of the optical waveguide are at least largely mitigated.
- This object is achieved in an optical waveguide of the type mentioned at the outset according to the invention by the characterizing features of claim 1.
- the optical fiber has two core areas K1 and K2 and two cladding areas M1 and M2.
- the areas mentioned have different refractive indices.
- the core areas K1 and K2 result in a double-shouldered refractive index curve.
- the core region K1 which is arranged symmetrically to the center m of the optical waveguide and has a diameter of 2 a0, has the highest refractive index, which, according to the refractive index sizes used in FIG. 1, is larger by ⁇ 3 + ⁇ 1 than the refractive index in the cladding region M1.
- the refractive index of the core region K1 follows the core region K2, the refractive index of which is lower than the refractive index of the core region K1 and is larger by ⁇ than the refractive index in the cladding region M1.
- the core area K2 has a thickness of a1 - a0 and its distance from the center m of the optical waveguide is a0.
- the refractive index in the core area K1 is constant.
- the refractive index falls from a difference ⁇ 3 + ⁇ 1 (in the core region K1) to a refractive index difference ⁇ with respect to the inner cladding M1.
- the refractive index also remains constant in the core area K2.
- the jacket connects with its jacket areas M1 and M2.
- the cladding area M1 has the refractive index difference ⁇ 3 compared to the cladding area M2. Since the jacket has a lowered refractive index range M 1, one speaks of a jacket with a lowered refractive index range.
- the thickness of the jacket area M1 is a2 - a1.
- the refractive index profile of FIG. 1 can serve as a mathematical model for a single-mode fiber.
- the first region K1 of the core (0 - a0) is doped, for example, with germanium, thereby increasing its refractive index.
- the second region K2 of the core (a0 - a1) is doped, for example, with germanium or fluorine, depending on whether ⁇ > ⁇ 3 or ⁇ ⁇ 3, where ⁇ 3 is the relative refractive index difference compared to the outer cladding (M2) and ⁇ relative refractive index difference between the second region (K2) of the core and inner cladding (M1).
- the inner cladding (M1) is doped with fluorine, thereby lowering its refractive index.
- the outer matnel (M2) consists of pure quartz glass.
- the spot radius W0 of the fundamental wave is according to defined, where E (r) is the fundamental wave field as a function of the distance r from the fiber center m. Macro curvature losses are calculated for a radius of curvature of 4.5 cm.
- the reason for a decrease in the macro curvature losses is the increase in the effective refractive index of the fundamental wave through the second region (K2) of the core.
- Macro curvature losses are mainly determined by the difference between the effective refractive index of the fundamental wave and the refractive index of the outer cladding.
- the splice losses depend on the spot radius W0, and the curvature losses on the spot radius parameter W ⁇ , where W ⁇ according is defined.
- n e is the effective refractive index of the fundamental wave
- n0 is the refractive index of the outer cladding
- k is the wave number in the vacuum.
- the ratio W ⁇ / W0 must be as small as possible.
- W / W0 increases when R a becomes smaller.
- Minimum values of W / W0 are achieved for constant values of R a in the range 0.2 ⁇ R ⁇ ⁇ 0.4.
- FIG. 5 shows the refractive index profile of this type of fiber.
- R ⁇ 0.27, this fiber lies in the range in which the macro-curvature losses reach minimal values.
- a radius of curvature of 5 cm was assumed. It can also be seen from these figures that the second region of the core can drastically reduce the loss of macro curvature and at the same time shift ⁇ 0.
- the fiber with a lower sheath refractive index and double step profile of the core offers further important advantages. It is much less sensitive to certain parameter fluctuations than the fiber with a simple step profile.
- Figures 7 and 8 show the influence of changes in the core radius a 1 on the cut-off wavelength of the LP 11 wave or the dispersion coefficients for the fiber in FIG . It can be seen that core radius fluctuations in the fiber with simple step profile of the core will have a greater impact. Fluctuations in the radius of the core in the fiber with a reduced sheath refractive index and double-stage profile of the core are far from being so drastic.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Lichtwellenleiter mit einem Kern und einem Mantel, bei dem der Mantel in seinem inneren Bereich eine Brechzahlabsenkung aufweist.The invention relates to an optical waveguide with a core and a cladding, in which the cladding has a lowering of the refractive index in its inner region.
Eine Brechzahlabsenkung im inneren Mantel erlaubt, mit weniger Dotierung im Kern zur Erhöhung der Kernbrechzahl auszukommen. Bei geringerer Kerndotierung sind aber auch die Verluste niedriger, welche die Grundwelle im Kern erfährt, und die Faser führt die Grundwelle mit insgesamt weniger Dämpfung.A lowering of the refractive index in the inner cladding makes it possible to use less doping in the core to increase the core refractive index. With lower core doping, however, the losses experienced by the fundamental in the core are lower, and the fiber guides the fundamental with less attenuation overall.
Erhöht werden kann die Grundwellendämpfung in Faserkrümmungen, in denen Grundwellenleistung durch den Mantelbereich mit abgesenkter Brechzahl in den äußeren Mantelbereich tunnelt und durch Abstrahlung verloren geht. Es ist deshalb praktisch sehr wichtig, Möglichkeiten und Maßnahmen zu finden, mit denen sich diese Krümmumgsempfindlichkeit von Fasern mit abgesenkter Brechzahl im inneren Mantel vermindern läßt.The fundamental wave attenuation can be increased in fiber curvatures, in which fundamental wave power tunnels through the cladding area with a reduced refractive index into the outer cladding area and is lost through radiation. It is therefore very important in practice to find possibilities and measures with which this curvature sensitivity of fibers with a reduced refractive index in the inner cladding can be reduced.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Lichtwellenleiter mit einer Bechzahlabsenkung im Mantel anzugeben, bei dem Störungen, die durch Krümmungen des Lichtwellenleiters hervorgerufen werden, zumindest weitgehend gemildert werden. Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Lichtwellenleiter der eingangs erwähnten Art nach der Erfindung durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The invention is based on the object of specifying an optical waveguide with a reduced Bech number in the sheath, in which disturbances caused by curvatures of the optical waveguide are at least largely mitigated. This object is achieved in an optical waveguide of the type mentioned at the outset according to the invention by the characterizing features of
Die Erfindung wird im folgenden an einem Ausführungsbeispiel erläutert.The invention is explained below using an exemplary embodiment.
Im Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 1 weist der Lichtwellenleiter zwei Kernbereiche K₁ und K₂ sowie zwei Mantelbereiche M₁ und M₂ auf. Die genannten Bereiche haben unterschiedliche Brechzahlen. Die Kernbereiche K₁ und K₂ ergeben einen doppelschultrigen Brechzahlverlauf. Der Kernbereich K₁, der symmetrisch zur Mitte m des Lichtwellenleiters angeordnet ist und einen Durchmesser von 2 a₀ hat, weist die höchste Brechzahl auf, die nach den in der Figur 1 verwendeten Brechzahlgrößen um Δ₃ + Δ₁ größer ist als die Brechzahl im Mantelbereich M₁.In the embodiment of Figure 1, the optical fiber has two core areas K₁ and K₂ and two cladding areas M₁ and M₂. The areas mentioned have different refractive indices. The core areas K₁ and K₂ result in a double-shouldered refractive index curve. The core region K₁, which is arranged symmetrically to the center m of the optical waveguide and has a diameter of 2 a₀, has the highest refractive index, which, according to the refractive index sizes used in FIG. 1, is larger by Δ₃ + Δ₁ than the refractive index in the cladding region M₁.
An den inneren Kernbereich K₁ schließt sich der Kernbereich K₂ an, dessen Brechzahl geringer als die Brechzahl des Kernbereichs K₁ ist und um Δ₋ größer ist als die Brechzahl im Mantelbereich M₁. Der Kernbereich K₂ hat eine Dicke von a₁ - a₀ und sein Abstand zur Mitte m des Lichtwellenleiters beträgt a₀. Im Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 1 ist die Brechzahl im Kernbereich K₁ konstant. In dem sich an den Kernbereich K₁ anschließenden Kernbereich K₂ fällt die Brechzahl von einer Differenz Δ₃ + Δ₁ (im Kernbereich K₁) auf eine Brechzahldifferenz Δ₋ gegenüber dem inneren Mantel M₁ zurück. Die Brechzahl bleibt im Kernbereich K₂ ebenfalls konstant.At the inner core region K₁ follows the core region K₂, the refractive index of which is lower than the refractive index of the core region K₁ and is larger by Δ₋ than the refractive index in the cladding region M₁. The core area K₂ has a thickness of a₁ - a₀ and its distance from the center m of the optical waveguide is a₀. In the embodiment of Figure 1, the refractive index in the core area K₁ is constant. In the core region K₂ adjoining the core region K₁, the refractive index falls from a difference Δ₃ + Δ₁ (in the core region K₁) to a refractive index difference Δ₋ with respect to the inner cladding M₁. The refractive index also remains constant in the core area K₂.
An den Kernbereich K₂ schließt sich der Mantel mit seinen Mantelbereichen M₁ und M₂ an. Der Mantelbereich M₁ hat die Brechzahldifferenz Δ₃ gegenüber dem Mantelbereich M₂. Da der Mantel einen abgesenkten Brechzahlbereich M₁ aufweist, spricht man von einem Mantel mit abgesenktem Brechzahlbereich. Die Dicke des Mantelbereichs M₁ beträgt a₂ - a₁.At the core area K₂ the jacket connects with its jacket areas M₁ and M₂. The cladding area M₁ has the refractive index difference Δ₃ compared to the cladding area M₂. Since the jacket has a lowered refractive
Das Brechzahlprofil der Figur 1 kann als mathematisches Modell für eine Einmodenfaser dienen. Der erste Bereich K₁ des Kerns (0 - a₀) wird beispielsweise mit Germanium dotiert und dadurch seine Brechzahl berhöht. Der zweite Bereich K₂ des Kerns (a₀ - a₁) wird beispielsweise mit Germanium oder Fluor dotiert, je nachdem ob Δ₋ > Δ₃ oder Δ₋ < Δ₃ sein soll, wobei Δ₃ die relative Brechzahldifferenz gegenüber dem äußeren Mantel (M₂) und Δ₋ die relative Brechzahldifferenz zwischen dem zweiten Bereich (K₂) des Kerns und innerem Mantel (M₁) bezeichnet. Der innere Mantel (M₁) wird mit Fluor dotiert und dadurch seine Brechzahl abgesenkt. Der äußere Matnel (M₂) besteht aus reinem Quarzglas. Das Radienverhältnis Ra und das Brechzahlverhältnis des Kerns RΔ werden gemäß
Ra = a₁/a₀ (1)
und
R a = a₁ / a₀ (1)

Die Figur 2 zeigt die Makrokrümmungsverluste bei λ = 1,55 µm als Funktion von RΔ mit Ra als Parameter für einen Fleckradius W₀ = 5,05 µm bei λ = 1,55 µm und eine Wellenlänge des Dispersionsminimums von λ₀ = 1,305 µm. Der Fleckradius W₀ der Grundwelle wird gemäß
Die Figur 3 zeigt die Makrokrümmungsverluste bei λ = 1,55 µm als Funktion des Krümmungsradius Rc für die Fasern mit einfachem Stufenprofil und Doppelstufenprofil des Kerns. Ebenso wie in der Figur 2 werden hier der Fleckradius W₀ bei λ = 1,55 µm und die Wellenlänge des Dispersionsminimums λ₀ auch wieder auf 5,05 µm bzw. 1,305 µm eingestellt. Der Grund für eine Abnahme der Makrokrümmungsverluste ist die Vergrößerung der effektiven Brechzahl der Grundwelle durch den zweiten Bereich (K₂) des Kerns. Die Makrokrümmungsverluste werden hauptsächlich durch die Differenz zwischen effektiver Brechzahl der Grundwelle und Brechzahl des äußeren Mantels bestimmt.FIG. 3 shows the macro curvature losses at λ = 1.55 μm as a function of the radius of curvature R c for the fibers with a single step profile and a double step profile of the core. As in FIG. 2, the spot radius W₀ at λ = 1.55 µm and the wavelength of the dispersion minimum λ₀ are also set to 5.05 µm and 1.305 µm, respectively. The reason for a decrease in the macro curvature losses is the increase in the effective refractive index of the fundamental wave through the second region (K₂) of the core. Macro curvature losses are mainly determined by the difference between the effective refractive index of the fundamental wave and the refractive index of the outer cladding.
Die Spleißverluste sind vom Fleckradius W₀, und die Krümmungsverluste vom Fleckradius-Parameter W∞ abhängig, wobei W∞ gemäß
Die Figur 4 zeigt das Verhältnis W /W₀ bei λ = 1,55 µm als Funktion von RΔ mit Ra als Parameter für einen Fleckradius W₀ = 5,05 µm bei λ = 1,55 µm und eine Wellenlänge des Dispersionsminimums von λ₀ = 1,305 µm. Ebenso wie in der Figur 2 nimmt W /W₀ zu, wenn Ra kleiner wird. Für jeweils konstante Werte von Ra werden im Bereich 0,2 < RΔ < 0,4 minimale Werte von W /W₀ erreicht.FIG. 4 shows the ratio W / W₀ at λ = 1.55 µm as a function of R Δ with R a as a parameter for a spot radius W₀ = 5.05 µm at λ = 1.55 µm and a wavelength of the minimum dispersion of λ₀ = 1.305 µm. As in FIG. 2, W / W₀ increases when R a becomes smaller. Minimum values of W / W₀ are achieved for constant values of R a in the range 0.2 <R Δ <0.4.
Um die Vorformherstellung nach dem MCVD-Verfahren zu vereinfachen, kann man in äußeren Bereich des Kerns das Quarzlgas mit Fluor- bzw. Germanium-Dotierung auch durch reines Quarzglas ersetzen. Die Figur 5 zeigt das Brechzahlprofil dieses Fasertyps. Die Wellenlänge des Dispersionsminimums λ₀ und die Makrokrümmungsverluste bei λ = 1,55 µm für die Faser mit Δ₁ = 0,265 %, Δ₂ = 0, Δ₃ = 0,098 % und a₀ = 4,0 µm sind auch in der Figur 5 bzw. in der Figur 6 als Funktion von Ra aufgetragen. Diese Faser liegt mit RΔ = 0,27 in dem Bereich, in welchem die Makrokrümmungsverluste minimale Werte erreichen. Hier wurde ein Krümmungsradius von 5 cm angenommen. Es läßt sich aus diesen Figuren auch entnehmen, daß der zweite Bereich des Kerns die Makrokrümmungsverluste drastisch reduzieren und gleichzeitig λ₀ verschieben kann.In order to simplify the preform production using the MCVD process, the quartz gas with fluorine or germanium doping can also be replaced by pure quartz glass in the outer area of the core. FIG. 5 shows the refractive index profile of this type of fiber. The wavelength of the dispersion minimum λ₀ and the macro curvature losses at λ = 1.55 µm for the fiber with Δ₁ = 0.265%, Δ₂ = 0, Δ₃ = 0.098% and a₀ = 4.0 µm are also in Figure 5 and in the figure 6 plotted as a function of R a . With R Δ = 0.27, this fiber lies in the range in which the macro-curvature losses reach minimal values. Here a radius of curvature of 5 cm was assumed. It can also be seen from these figures that the second region of the core can drastically reduce the loss of macro curvature and at the same time shift λ₀.
Die Faser mit abgesenkter Mantelbrechzahl und Doppelstufenprofil des Kerns bietet weitere wichtige Vorteile. Sie ist viel unempfindlicher gegenüber bestimmten Parameterschwankungen als die Faser mit einfachem Stufenprofil. Die Figuren 7 und 8 zeigen den Einfluß von Änderungen des Kernradius a₁ auf die Grenzwellenlänge der LP₁₁-Welle bzw. die Dispersionskoeffizienten für die Faser in der Figur 5. Hier wurde die Wellenlänge des Dispersionsminimums λ₀ auf etwa 1,305 µm eingestellt, indem entsprechende Kernradien gewählt wurden. Man erkannt, daß Kernradiusschwankungen bei der Faser mit einfachem Stufenprofil des Kerns sich stärker auswirken. Kernradiusschwankungen bei der Faser mit abgesenkter Mantelbrechzahl und Doppelstufenprofil des Kerns wirken sich längst nicht so drastisch aus. So verschiebt eine fünfprozentige Veränderung des Kernradius die LP₁₁-Grenzwellenlänge für Ra = 1 um 0,05 µm, aber für Ra =1,5 nur um 0,007 µm. Bei der Faser mit abgesenkter Mantelbrechzahl und Doppelstufenprofil des Kerns werden also die Genauigkeitsanforderungen bei der Herstellung reduziert, so daß diese Faser leichter hergestellt werden kann. Darüber hinaus werden bei der Faser mit abgesenkter Mantelbrechzahl und Doppelstufenprofil des Kerns die Dämpfungsverluste durch Absorption und Streuung aufgrund der Feldausdehnung in den äußeren Bereich des Kerns niedriger ausfallen.The fiber with a lower sheath refractive index and double step profile of the core offers further important advantages. It is much less sensitive to certain parameter fluctuations than the fiber with a simple step profile. Figures 7 and 8 show the influence of changes in the core radius a 1 on the cut-off wavelength of the LP 11 wave or the dispersion coefficients for the fiber in FIG . It can be seen that core radius fluctuations in the fiber with simple step profile of the core will have a greater impact. Fluctuations in the radius of the core in the fiber with a reduced sheath refractive index and double-stage profile of the core are far from being so drastic. So a five percent change in the core radius shifts the LP₁₁ cut-off wavelength for R a = 1 by 0.05 µm, but for R a = 1.5 only by 0.007 µm. In the case of the fiber with a lower sheath refractive index and a double step profile of the core, the accuracy requirements during manufacture are reduced, so that this fiber can be manufactured more easily. In addition, the attenuation losses due to absorption and scatter due to the field expansion in the outer region of the core will be lower in the case of the fiber with a lower sheath refractive index and a double step profile of the core.
